Capricoin story

Capricoin has been developed as a collaboration between a group of technology companies in Europe and the USA. Part of our marketing strategy is to ensure that we distribute the coin as widely as possible. This makes it truly a coin for the people. Capricoin is not a single entity and anyone can become a part of the movement.

Capricoin technology

Proof-of-Stake distributed ledger

CPC achieves its consensus through the proof of stake (PoS) algorithm which was designed and first implemented in Peercoin. PoS is much more eco-friendly than other alternatives since it doesn't require mining. There are no energy wasting operations required to secure the network! Stakeholders can use their own computers instead of buying special mining rigs available to a privelleged few.

Pre-Mined

CapriCoin aims to resolve the issue of energy expenditure by pre-generating all the coins that will ever be used on the network. All future transactions can be done on equipment with low computational capabilities, the kind used in daily commerce (cell phones, POS terminals, ATM machines, etc.).

Transaction scheme

CPC blockchain uses the standard UTXO transaction model. There is no registration required as there are no accounts to be registered on the blockchain. Anybody capable of generating a private/public key-pair can receive CapriCoins. Transactions are signed using asymmetric cryptography based on secp256k1 elliptic curve.
